Bleeding Heart
Jessie Taylor H Feb 2016
The only pain I feel,
Is from the wound in my chest;
Left behind by your double edged dagger.

But my self inflicted scars,
Are deeper than the ones you've caused.
Because my skin is much stronger,
Than the barrier protecting my mind.

Only A Dream
Jessie Taylor H Feb 2016
My feet are worn,
My lungs are tired.
My whole body,
Is going haywire.

It's hard to breathe,
I don't want to believe.
My heart is beating fast,
It's becoming harder to grasp.

So lost in thought,
Of what time would've brought.
This can't be goodbye,
We've only just said hi.

But I know I'll see you tonight,
Right when I fall asleep.
And when I wake up,
This will only be a dream.

Your Air
Jessie Taylor H Feb 2016
I wish I was an artist,
But my tongue is creative enough.
Dancing across your lips,
Creating the image in my head,
Breathing it to life.
Daring me with your eyes,
Your craving just one kiss.
As your lips brush against mine,
Barely close enough to even exist.

Use the gap between your teeth to help you breathe.
Because once your hands touch my body,
You won't remember to come up for air.

With your hands on my waist,
So lost in your embrace.
Our bodies,
Speaking softly together.
Whispering in the dark,
Pulling away,
Only when our lungs are desperate for air.

Uneven Heartbreak
Jessie Taylor H Oct 2019
He's disappointed in her,
she's falling even deeper.
He witnesses the side effects,
of her new dangerous addiction.

His eyes filled with concern,
he pleaded with her to stop.
He doesn't understand her pain,
and slowly they drift apart.

She still feels broken,
from when he destroyed her heart.
She tries numbing the pain,
with such a short-lived high.


But her heart wants only thing,
and she can't bare to worry him.
Even though he's the cause of this nightmare,
she'll never let him go.

Oblivious
Jessie Taylor H Feb 2016
How blind can you be,
Do you really not see.
The way I feel about you,
but do you feel for me too.
I thought I'd have more time,
Until I had to speak my mind.
I'll just get use to the fact,
that'll you'll never be mine.

Wounded Knight
Jessie Taylor H Jul 2020
You are a piece of art,
crafted with the most valuable materials.
A sword forged from perfection,
with blood stained tears;
from the times you had to stab your own heart.

I'll become the blacksmith,
crafting over dents to help you become whole again.
Using my own veins,
to stitch together every open wound,
you've left untouched.

Sensual Dream
Jessie Taylor H Jan 2016
Come lay with me,
I'll hold you close.
Your sweet lips,
Speaking only with mine.
My fingertips,
Sliding across your skin.
The gentle feel of your touch,
Renders my body defenseless.
Setting fire to my every nerve,
Each kiss like fuel to the flames

Place your hand on my heart,
Can you feel my pain.
My darkness is overwhelming,
But you scare it all away.

I'm going to add more to this later, but nothing I think of  sounds perfect enough.

Freedom
Jessie Taylor H Jan 2016
You're my pain,
I just wanna get away.
I have no ties to you,
But what else am I supposed to do.
My obligation is to myself,
Happiness is what I search for.
Your words cut sharp,
But not as deep as this blade.
You'll never control me,
I have my own mind.
The only thing I regret in my life,
Is still being here with you.
But it won't be for long,
Patience is the key.
I now know I don't need you,
And soon I'll be free.

Lips Of Perfection
Jessie Taylor H Jan 2016
Your next to me,
I sneak a quick glance.
I can't see your eyes,
But something else catches my attention.
Your lips,
Lips of perfection.
Soft and sweet,
I can still feel their touch.
Warming me with a kiss,
From your lips of perfection.

Old Friend
Jessie Taylor H Jan 2016
My sweet old friend,
How I miss you more each day.
You were always there,
When no one knew my pain.
You promised me pleasure,
With just one price to pay.
You didn't want to be forgotten,
For you were my hero each night and day.
So now I bare these scars, for the whole world to see.

I wrote this describing my struggle with self harm. It's easy to start, but it's hard to quit when you rely on one form of pain to control another.

Dreaming Of Love
Jessie Taylor H Feb 2016
You've always have my heart,
You're the one who keeps it safe.
You hold me tight,
And promise that you'll never let go.
Our lips meet,
And all I feel is your kiss.
I look into your eyes,
And realized that I've finally found the one.
I can't imagine a world,
Where you don't exist.
You're a part of me,
That I could never live without.
I love you,
And I want you to always be mine.
And if this is a dream,
I'm going to sleep forever.

April Fools
Jessie Taylor H Jan 2016
I lay awake,
With my eyes full of tears.
Craving razor blade kisses,
I've known for many years.

Even though it's written,
All over my arm.
I still remember when you broke your promise,
To never bring me any harm.

Last Night
Jessie Taylor H Jan 2016
You showed me the songs,
So now they remind me of you.
But you broke my heart,
And just left it in two.
After that night,
I started to cry.
I could of held in the tears,
But I didn't want to try.
I didn't know you long enough,
To feel this way.
But I never got the chance,
To let out what I needed to say.
So instead I wrote a song,
Of how I felt that night,
Before we said goodbye,
And everything was alright.
1/27/2016
I wrote this describing a song I just finished writing, it took me two hours but had to of been the best song I've written. And so I wrote this poem in less than 10 minutes, describing what the song is mainly about.

Your Eyes
Jessie Taylor H Jan 2016
I keep thinking about your eyes,
Every time I made some smart *** remark,
You'd always give me that same look.

Your glance shows me confidence,
As if you knew I was falling deeper everyday.
But your mind tells me how insecure you are.

There's so much beauty in your soul.
My mind searches deep into yours,
Longing for more than what we have now

Before Your Mine
Jessie Taylor H Jan 2016
I lean in,
To simply whisper in your ear.
But my mind drifts away,
And lingers on you dear.

I pull away slowly,
Longing to say so much.
But instead of using words,
I do it with a touch.

I slowly run my fingers,
Up and down your spine.
Giving you a taste,
Before I make you mine.

Why
Jessie Taylor H Feb 2016
Why
Why am I here,
When no one wants me.
Why do I live,
When you just shot me.
Why would I forgive,
When you won't say sorry.

Light Of My Darkness
Jessie Taylor H Jan 2016
I wondered alone in the darkness,
Looking for you.
I closed my eyes in fear,
Thinking that I'd lost you.
I looked around for help,
and saw you standing there.
I felt your hand on mine,
And knew that you were always near.

I Love You
Jessie Taylor H Feb 2016
I want you to know,
How much I think of you.
I want you to know,
How much I care for you.
I want you to know,
Exactly how I feel about you.
I want you to know,
Just simply, that I love you.

Just A Memory
Jessie Taylor H Jan 2016
How is it possible to miss someone so much it physically hurts.
Just one thought,
Slows down my breathing,
Calming the ache in my chest.
I cling to that which belonged to you,
As if this simple item brings you closer to me.
Your memory is so sweet,
I crave to taste it.
So I wrap my arms around a dream,
Where you're forever next to me.

Thoughts At 2Am
Jessie Taylor H Jan 2016
It's already 2AM,
But you're always awake til then.
All I want,
Is to hear your voice
But it's been three whole days,
And I haven't received one word.
Tears keep swelling up in my eyes,
But I hold them back for the sake of my heart.
I think I gave it to you by mistake,
My chest is aching for it back
I fell in love with your mind,
And I'd love to see you just one more time.
I still see you in my dreams,
As if you were standing right next to me.
But when I sleep,
I don't hold back.
I'm not to shy,
To speak the truth.
And you're not walking away,
No ones begging for the other to stay.
Because in my dreams,
I'm the Queen
And you're right there with me,
Being crowned King.

Perfect Shade Of Blue
Jessie Taylor H Oct 2019
Your eyes are so intense,
their stare forces one foot in front of the other.
I still remember the feel of your chest against my cheek,
and the different patterns of your heartbeat.

Everytime you kissed me I could feel your soul,
and taste the faint hint of your last cigarette lingering on your lips.
But you let fear tear us apart,
because you lost control of your heart.

The Void
Jessie Taylor H Jan 2016
What did you do to me?
I don't remember falling,
But I can feel the bruises.
And now that the pain is here,
You're nowhere to be found.
I've fallen into the void,
It seems I'm lost forever.
I dream of your face,
Longing for your embrace.
Emptiness consuming my soul,
And shattering my heart.
I'm forgetting how it felt,
To just be close to you.
My eyes are drifting shut,
Slowly losing myself into the abyss.

After One's Own Heart
Jessie Taylor H Apr 2019
If I'm being honest,
I want to be angry with you.
For giving up on our love,
When fear whispered in your ear;
"Run now or this pain will continue."

Your sweet lips still stained into my brain;
And my own personal brand of love will forever seep into your thoughts.

Whenever you held me close to your chest,
My body would subconsciously sway from side to side;
As if I could feel a silent melody vibrating from your soul.

It was like two individual beings,
Craving to forge into one beautiful piece of perfection.

A life full of possibilities,
And strength to break the curse;
That we've seen plague the hearts,
Of those who came before us.

But sadly our adventure is ending,
Before the first chapter is even complete;
Because you were so terrified of being out of control,
That you destroyed the purest love you'd ever behold.

Before Sleep
Jessie Taylor H Jan 2016
I keep torturing myself.
Looking through old conversations and remembering every time I made you smile.
They're happy memories until tears form in my eyes.
I'm consumed with thoughts of your arms around me.
So I close my eyes and drift away,
With thoughts of you on my mind as I fall asleep.
